Well, the “good” news if the rumor is true is that it’s not a joint or his head, back or neck, and when he is recovered, it will be complete. It won’t be chronic, forever. I can deal with him playing after the Christmas break or perhaps the Calgary road game before the break, but we’re gonna miss him a lot in January if it comes to that.

What was the tone of TM’s comments?
Did he seem angry or annoyed, or just the way he usually answers questions?

I have resigned myself to the fact that he will be back when he’s back.

Saw him at meet the players, was looking at how he moved to see if that might have been it. If the rumor is rib, it would make sense. Also nice that it’s not like some of the injuries we’ve seen some other teams take lately (broken legs, broken jaw, legs cut by skates…) 4-6 weeks is a nice amount of time to get properly healed for something like that.
Nick, I know how the rumors can be down there – flashbacks of high school…

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:05:27 +0000http://lakingsinsider.com/?p=2005#comment-18807Seeing how it’s already been reported and LB just came out with it. It is indeed a rib injury.

Given that it is a rib injury, I do hope that he stays away until he’s ready. With the kind of punishment that he takes every game, that rib will be hit all game long, so there’s no way he should come back too early!

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:46:34 +0000http://lakingsinsider.com/?p=2005#comment-18805Given the type of player Smyth is, with the way he battles in front of the net, it seems only logical to give him as much time as it takes to get him fully healed. If you bring him in too early, the injury could be aggravated and then he’s out even longer. In this case it’s best to go with a low risk option, especially since the Kings are playing pretty well at the moment.
